Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Verse 9 Anarghyaani Ratnaani Bhuktaani samyak Samaalingitaa kaamini yaamineeshu / Guroranghre padmae manashchenna lagnam Taatah kim? Taatah kim? Taatah kim? Taatah kim? // Swamiji now speaks about luxury. Some, as a result of their excessive indulgence in sex, enter into a state of detachment. Some say that they have experienced the luxuries of invaluable gems, wealth, and cozy living having sex copiously. Having experienced all of them, if he becomes detached and gets initiation of Guru, what a good gem he turns into! In this Ashtakam, (verse-octo,) each verse, nay even each line denotes one 'heart.' If it is said in one word that the absence of devotion towards Guru, all others are utterly useless, it will not appeal to our mind. So Swamiji says the same in different ways for different 'hearts' (people,) keeping different people in view. He who sacrifices all and conquers the dualities like cold and heat, turns into a very good gem, if he gets initiation from Guru. He who has education, poetic talent and humility, will turn into a good gem, if he gets initiation from Guru. He who has wealth and charity, turns into a good gem, if he gets initiation from Guru. This is the quintessence of the above verse. It is said with much more clarity in the following (verse 10.)
